Wine Tasting NotesDisplaying a nose of red currant, black cherry, leafy tobacco and beef bourguignon, this is a dense and tannic effort. On the palate, dusty suede, pain grille, wet earth, vanilla cola and plum preserves join the mix, with savory, gamey undertones of grilled meats and road tar. There is great fruit on the attach, medium to full body, and plenty of dark Bordeaux intensity, as well as length, that resolves with herbaceous menthol and white pepper spicing.
